"It could have been disastrous. And Ahmad Bradshaw was glad that it wasn't.

In the biggest game of the Giants' season, Bradshaw, the team's most dangerous runner, was stuck on the sidelines during the first half. Bradshaw had violated team rules, and as punishment, he sat out the first half of Sunday's 37-34 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboys Stadium.

"It happens," he said. "All I can do is come in the second half, play my game, help out as much as I could. I just wanted to use my enthusiasm and talents and help the team win."

Bradshaw admitted he violated team rules. It was reported that he violated team curfew, although neither Bradshaw nor Tom Coughlin would confirm that."
